Ferroptosis is distinct from other apoptotic forms of programmed cell death and is characterized by the accumulation of iron and lipid peroxidation. Iron plays a crucial role in the oxidation of lipids via the Fenton reaction with oxygen. Hence, iron accumulation causes phospholipid peroxidation which induces ferroptosis. Moreover, detoxification by glutathione is disrupted during ferroptosis. A growing number of studies have implicated ferroptosis in nervous system disorders such as depression, neurodegenerative disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and sepsis-associated encephalopathy. This review summarizes the pathogenesis of ferroptosis and its relationship with various nervous system disorders.
